How does the job of the forensic psychologist differ from that of the clinical one. His profession means he will be working hand in hand with the legal system of judges, attorneys and police. Communication with them requires an understanding of the law as it relates to sanity versus insanity, for one example.

If he is asked to provide testimony as an expert witness, he may need additional information such as medical conditions that may contribute to erratic behavior. When testifying, he must communicate the meaning of testimony to the legal community and the jurors who may have no understanding of psychological or legal terminology. There are specific standards, regulations and philosophy of justice that he must understand and be able to convey to a jury.

Testifying in a criminal case requires knowledge beyond clinical or educational psychology. For two examples, it is crucial to understand what the exclusionary rule is and what hearsay evidence is and why it is not admissible. Declaring his opinion that a defendant is legally competent to stand trial is another of his tasks.

Such terms as competency, risk assessment, malingerer or plea bargaining will come up frequently. The jury must have direction in the meaning of some terms before they can decide a case. The layperson will accept the insanity of an individual far more easily than the legal system. The defendant cannot just decide to plead insanity as a way out of responsibility for his actions.

In many instances an interview with the defendant is made by the mental health expert. Frequently, the accused will refuse to cooperate or pretend to have opinions and feeling he does not have. Of course he will try to present himself in a good light. The forensic expert must be adept at seeing through such pretense.

Under non-criminal circumstances a therapist cannot repeat any communication that occurs between himself and a patient. When interviews take place for legal evaluations, that caveat does not apply. A report is intended to be presented to the judge and often given in open court as well. Evaluating a person who is trying to pose as insane when he is not is a special skill.

The forensic psychologist must be schooled in psychology, but also be fully knowledgeable about the law in relation to courtroom procedure. He may work with police departments, public defenders and aid in jury selection at the request of one of the attorneys working on the case. The judge may rely on his testimony during sentencing. His duties may ultimately determine the life or death of an accused murderer.

Do you find yourself asking: Why does this keep happening to me? Why do I keep dating the same people? Why do I always end up in these situations? If so, I would encourage you to take a serious, courageous look at what you might be “broadcasting.”

Despite our best efforts to hide our true feelings or fears, we always communicate in one way or another. Communication researcher James Borg asserts that 93 percent of communication is nonverbal: “…the way you say something — using behavioral cues like facial expressions, pace, pitch, tone and posture — can say a lot more than the actual words you select.” So, with that in mind, it is important to uncover what we are “broadcasting” through our non-verbal cues. Once we have discovered what we are truly “saying,” is this something we’re genuinely willing to change?

Creating the same unhealthy situations and patterns in relationships is often the result of things we’re broadcasting without any awareness. This can be seen in many obvious, as well as subtle, ways. For example, driving behavior can reveal the driver’s emotional state so clear it might as well be written on a neon sign. How fast do they accelerate? Brake? Weaving? The tone and volume of voice is also very telling. Do people speak loudly, or so softly that they are practically inaudible? How do people put things down or close cabinets and doors? With an unnecessary amount of force or only what is required? Also, what about their breathing? Do they often sigh as if their time is being wasted when another speaks or do they frequently cut people off?

Whether we want to or not, we cannot not communicate. Eckhart Tolle (A New Earth, 2005) often describes the energy fields we emanate. According to Tolle, “regardless of what you say or do, or what face you show to the world, your mental-emotional state cannot be concealed. Every human being emanates an energy field that corresponds to his or her inner state. Most people can sense it, although they may feel someone else’s energy emanation only subliminally, that is to say, they don’t know that they sense it, yet it determines to a large extent how they feel about and react to that person. Some people are most clearly aware of it when they first meet someone, even before any words are exchanged. A little later however, words take over the relationship and with words come the roles that most people play. Attention then moves to the realm of mind, and the ability to sense the other person’s energy field becomes greatly diminished. Nevertheless, it is still felt on an unconscious level.”

Although “energy field” can sound a little strange to some, we all usually refer to it when asking questions, such as “What was your vibe on that guy”, or “what’s your sense of that church” or “did you get a read on her?” These are all examples of people describing their experience of someone’s energy field. Remember, just because we cannot see something does not mean it does not exist (i.e., microwaves, radiation, radio and cell phone signals). Energy fields are just as real as physical matter. In fact, Albert Einstein discussed how matter is energy, only it is energy vibrating at a slower speed. The implications of this are enormous. It could be argued that our energy field or “broadcast” actually creates our physical reality!

A more obvious broadcast can often be easily observed when hearing the music being played on someone’s car stereo when stopped at a traffic light. People often choose the type of music that mirrors their current emotional landscape (i.e., songs involving joy/connection, violence/anger, breakups/sadness). For example, a woman who just met the man of her dreams may be listening to “At Last” by Etta James or a man who just filed for divorce may listen to “Outside” by Staind.

In order to be more aware of and influence our “broadcast” to others, it takes a willingness to get in touch with (and pay conscious attention to) what we’re thinking and feeling on a regular basis. Are we angry, sad, frustrated, and worried, or are we feeling relatively calm, hopeful, and happy? The more we become conscious of our thoughts and feelings, we will have more choices available to us. More specifically, when we are triggered (when we become upset by a thought, word, or event) we will have far more choices and impulse control at our disposal when responding — versus reacting.

An important question to ask is “How do we want someone to experience us when we’re communicating or simply in another’s presence? There is a saying that “some people bring joy to a room when they enter, others when they leave.” We have all felt lighter when someone has entered our space, as well as better when they left. We undoubtedly have experienced the reverse without even being aware of it; our presence has either added to or taken away from the well-being of others, particularly when we were in a negative state. I’d like to suggest that we all give someone an experience of the world as safe and benevolent rather than hostile and cold. Remember that everything we say and do does one of two things: it creates closeness or distance (rarely anything in between). So, how do we go about even knowing what “station” we’re transmitting?

There are several practical ways we can become more in tune with what we’re giving off energetically. A helpful exercise is to look in the mirror before starting your day. Relax your face and look back at yourself with a “soft gaze.” If someone was looking into your eyes, how do you think they would feel? What might they think? Now, it’s time to set your intention for the day. How do you want others to experience you: present, kind, impatient, or angry?

Remember to pay attention to your breathing. Medical professionals know and emphasize the importance of deep, full, and controlled breathing for self-soothing, calming ourselves down enough to be able to think clearly, and overall improvement in health. Take time to yourself daily (at least 5 minutes 3 times throughout the day) to slow your breathing and allow yourself to feel the various sensations/energies that run through your body. This aids in centering and clarity. Allow those sensations (even the negative, heavy, fearful/panicky ones) to just be, without fighting or resisting them. Resisting what is your current emotional-mental experience only magnifies it, adding further upset (i.e., panicking about feeling fear) to an only temporary uncomfortable experience. This is part of the process of becoming present. The more we give our conscious attention/awareness to these feelings, what Eckhart Tolle calls “pain bodies,” the more they dissolve.

Awareness of how we’re really doing is crucial if we want to have more choice. Whether that choice is how we project ourselves throughout the day, who we select as a life partner, or how we shape our relationships with our families and colleagues, our “broadcast” will always play a central role. Our thoughts and feelings, particularly those that remain unexamined and/or out of our conscious awareness, readily trigger emotional responses and a corresponding broadcast via emotional energy. Psychotherapy is an ideal environment to explore these thoughts and feelings within the context of a safe and trusting relationship with a competent therapist. Make sure that your potential therapist is open to an “interview” before formally beginning counseling as an appropriate match is crucial. If the right connection does not exist between you and your therapist, effective therapy may not be possible. Above all else, you need to feel comfortable, safe, and free from judgment before it’s possible to trust someone with thoughts, feelings, and actions that you may not even feel comfortable repeating to yourself when alone. Therapy can also help with general communication strategies that can greatly improve our relationships through insight and self-awareness.

According to The Journal of Couples & Relationship Therapy (Atwood & Schwartz, 2002), approximately 50% of both men and women will have an extramarital affair at some time in their lives.

While we can spend time analyzing, being angry, or feeling hurt about the circumstances of an affair, how physical it was, why you didn’t see it coming, or the devastating effects of broken trust, none of these helps us answer one of the most important questions: do you and your partner still want to make the relationship work?

If the desire for reconciliation is present, counseling with a trained couples therapist can help and should begin as soon as possible.

Affairs Don’t “Just Happen”

Contrary to popular impressions, affairs don’t just happen. And they don’t occur because of sexual boredom. They happen because one partner is no longer attached to, or connected with, the other.

In fact, a number of research studies have indicated that even seemingly happily married spouses have affairs. While this may be disturbing, marriage is far more than a question of contentment and the feelings that spouses have for one another run much deeper than the emotions that readily appear on the surface.

Although numerous situations and factors can lead to an affair, affairs are a symptom of marital problems, not the cause. Therefore, while some couples may agree to “kiss and make-up,” doing so isn’t likely to solve the problems that led to the affair.

After an affair, forgetting and forgiving is not enough. If you or partner has had an affair, the first thing the two of you will have to do is determine whether or not you want to do the work necessary to repair your relationship and address the underlying issues that led to infidelity. If you’re both willing to do the work necessary to save your marriage and make your relationship the best it can be, professional couples or marriage counseling can help.

How Marriage Counseling Can Help

Assuming you and your partner want to rebuild your relationship after an affair, the first step must be to open the lines of communication.

Couples counseling can help you begin talking about the elements that were missing from your relationship which left it vulnerable to infidelity. Professional counseling can also help you become aware of one another’s emotional needs. It is only by understanding and learning to meet each other’s emotional needs that your relationship will have a chance to recover, strengthen, and grow.

That having been said, opening the lines of communication tends to include rather uncomfortable conversations, including conversations about the affair itself. However, as difficult as this may be, learning more about your partner’s needs and desires is a powerful, positive, and necessary experience if your relationship is to survive and flourish.

Beyond working on your communication, the two of you must also create undivided time together. This time includes time for romance and sex and it can help you create experiences similar to those that existed when you previously met each other’s emotional needs.

Of equal importance is some private space for each of you, in which you can deal with all the feelings that come up during this period. Being able to strike a healthy balance between sharing and internalizing will allow both of you to regain your confidence and feel safe in your relationship.

Should You Seek Couples Counseling?

The often overwhelming pain, anger, guilt, anxiety, confusion, and regret that stem from the discovery of an affair can easily cloud both partners’ judgment and ability to think and behave thoughtfully.

However, if your partner and you both want to save your relationship and make it better than it’s ever been, a professional marriage counselor or couples therapist can help both of you examine and share your feelings, work through destructive thoughts and behavior patterns, and begin to rebuild the communication, connection, and trust necessary to not only save your marriage but move forward together towards an even brighter future.

More than 19 million Americans suffer from clinical depression every year, and it can affect anyone regardless of their age, race, gender, income, or physical health.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that ongoing or severe depression causes people a large amount of pain and suffering, clinical depression often goes unrecognized and untreated. Yet this suffering is unnecessary.

What Is Clinical Depression?

Life is full of ups and downs, good times and bad. However, if you find yourself feeling “down” for more than a couple of weeks, or if you have difficulty functioning in daily life, you may be suffering from clinical depression.

Clinical depression involves much more than simply feeling depressed or sad for a few days and then feeling better. Clinical depression is a serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, think, and behave for long stretches of time.

It is not uncommon for people suffering from clinical depression to:

* Lose interest in activities they once found enjoyable

* Feel hopelessness or despair

* Experience drastic changes in eating habits

* Find themselves unable to concentrate

* No longer want to interact with people they used to enjoy being with

* Feel they “just aren’t themselves” anymore

Why Do So Many Suffer from Depression?

Clinical depression is a treatable illness. So why don’t more people get the treatment they need?

Depression often goes untreated because it goes unrecognized.

Some people incorrectly believe that only those who’ve been depressed for months on end or those who’ve completely lost their ability to function are suffering from clinical depression.

Others believe that depression is “normal” for older adults, new mothers, teenagers, those suffering from chronic illness or physical disabilities, and others that fall into similar categories.

However, clinical depression is never normal, regardless of one’s age, gender, or life situation.

Fortunately, there are ways to cope with the symptoms of depression and overcome the illness.

Successfully Treating Clinical Depression

Clinical depression is one of the most treatable of all psychological illnesses. In fact, more than 80 percent of people with depression can be treated successfully with psychotherapy, prescription medications, or a combination of the two.

Unfortunately, people often try to resolve their depression by themselves. While this may work for some, it’s rarely enough.

If feelings of depression or sadness are seriously affecting your life, if you find yourself experiencing any symptoms of depression, or if you have questions about how you’re feeling and whether or not you’re actually dealing with depression, you should locate a qualified professional to discuss your concerns.

Only qualified mental health professionals (such as psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychotherapists) can determine if you or someone you know is suffering from clinical depression.

Getting the Treatment You Need

If you or someone you know believes they may be suffering from depression, professional counseling or psychotherapy is often the best place to start looking for help.

While talking to friends and family may be helpful, only a trained mental health professional can provide the objective perspective and clinical resources you need to understand the difficulties you’re facing and the steps necessary to overcome them.

Antidepressants can also be beneficial, especially for people who’re experiencing severe depression. While antidepressants should not be considered a substitute for effective therapy, they can help get you back on track more quickly and help you function and fulfill your day-to-day responsibilities.

Taken together, antidepressants and psychotherapy can help you relieve the symptoms of depression and understand the underlying reasons for your depression and develop strategies to prevent future recurrences.

If you believe you’re depressed, there’s no need to feel alone. Clinical depression won’t just go away on its own, but help is available. And the sooner you seek help the better your chances for a fast and effective recovery.

Business coaching is exceedingly important in the executive work world. Like any other sort of relationship in life, the work relationship can sometimes be stressful, and learning to work through situations and is not always simple. There are moments when conflicts in the workplace arise and you may need a business mediator to assist you and work through some troublesome issues. Relationship complications could cause dissension in the workplace and eventually result in lower efficiency.

There are times when companies can gain benefit from business coaching because proper training can help employees strengthen their self-confidence and increase motivation. When self-confidence is gained, staff attain more success in their roles and capable of producing work more effectively. One of the methods business counseling is used to build self-esteem, is by teaching workers and bosses to improve assertiveness at work.

Many things can interfere with an employee’s performance at work. A real pro will leave their private life at home when they come to work, but that doesn’t often occur. Private issues are so close to us that simply because we are at work, this does not always mean personal issues are removed. Having personal counseling to help work work through your needs can be very favorable. Psychotherapy from a professional is also crucial for helping staff handle issues like bi-polar and depression.

Life today is anxiety-inducing and can often cause mind clutter. There are events and crises that can alter the mind-set of somebody and situate them in a state of despair. Most typical among these is illness and death. When anyone dies, whether expectedly or suddenly, knowing the best way to deal with death would possibly not be that straightforward.

Unpacking mind clutter is a method that needs time and steps to work through different pressures that come our way. When things aren’t properly dealt with, they can affect us and compromise our capability to get the work done that we want to do. Business mentoring offers that kind of help for mental strain to help employees maintain a sound mind and mental stability.

At some point in our lives, we’ve probably all had to go back and check to make sure our front door is locked or that the oven is turned off after we’ve already left the house. Many of us may even practice occasional ritualistic behaviors to help us feel more grounded or relaxed. There’s nothing inherently obsessive or compulsive about such thoughts or behaviors… as long as they remain occasional.

Unfortunately, for individuals suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) such thoughts often become increasingly obsessive and the behaviors associated with such obsessive thoughts become so compulsive that they interfere with an individual’s relationships and ability to fulfill common, everyday tasks and responsibilities.

While obsessive-compulsive disorder is not one of the most common mental health problems in the United States, it does affect a large number of individuals. In fact, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 1% of the American population suffers from OCD — in other words, some two and a half million adults in the United States alone.

Fortunately, a variety of treatments exist to help people with OCD, and one of the most effective treatments available today is some form of anxiety counseling or psychotherapy.

Recognizing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Just because someone has obsessive thoughts or carries out compulsive behaviors, it does not necessarily mean they have OCD. Therefore, in order to get the help one needs, one must first receive a professional diagnosis from a qualified mental health professional.

That having been said, OCD does come with certain signs and symptoms that help you identify whether or not you or someone you know needs professional help.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a type of anxiety disorder in which a person experiences:

* Obsessions — Involuntary, intrusive, seemingly uncontrollable thoughts that recur repeatedly and cause feelings of uneasiness, anxiety, or fear

* Compulsions — Repetitive, ritualized behaviors that are aimed at alleviating obsessive thoughts and reducing the anxiety and fear they cause

* A combination of such obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors

Although the vast majority of men and women with OCD exhibit symptoms of both obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, some individuals experience only one or the other.

Some of the more common symptoms of OCD include:

* Paying excessive attention to superstitions

* Fixation on order, symmetry, and on everything being “just right”

* Excessive double-checking of things, such as appliances, locks, switches, etc.

* Accumulating objects that are no longer useful out of fear of not having something one might need

* Spending an excessive amount of time washing or cleaning due to fear of contamination

* Unwarranted fear of causing harm to one’s self or others

* Single-minded preoccupation with moral or religious ideas, prayer, or rituals triggered by religious fear

While most people who have OCD recognize that their obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are irrational, unwarranted, and a vicious cycle that only gets worse over time, they are unable to break the repetitive, habitual patterns they’ve become accustomed to.

Just remember, countless men and women have minor obsessions or compulsions without having OCD.

If every person with irrational, strange, or unnecessary thoughts and behaviors had obsessive-compulsive disorder, the prevalence rates in the United States would be much higher than one percent!

A person is only diagnosed with OCD when obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors take up a substantial amount of time and energy, cause distress, and unduly interfere with one’s relationships and one’s life.

Effectively Treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

As mentioned previously, numerous treatments options exist for people with OCD, and by far the most effective of which is some form of professional obsessive-compulsive disorder counseling or psychotherapy.

While numerous therapeutic techniques exist to help individuals cope with and overcome OCD, several types of psychotherapy have been shown to be particularly effective in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder:

* CognitiveBehavioral Therapy — Cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common types of anxiety therapy. CBT is a brief treatment method that helps men and women with OCD change the way the think about, perceive, and respond to obsessive thoughts and anxiety-provoking situations without resorting to compulsive behaviors.

* Exposure Therapy — As the name implies, exposure therapy gradually introduces an individual to the source of his or her obsessions while requiring the person to refrain from the compulsive behaviors that are usually used to reduce anxiety. Exposure therapy helps individuals gain an increasing sense of control over their compulsive behaviors by retraining a person’s thought process through repeated encounters.

* Psychodynamic Therapy — Psychodynamic techniques focus on helping individuals with OCD work through the unconscious forces that lead to obsessive thoughts and feelings of anxiety and fear. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is similar to other types of therapy in that it involves talking through feelings and searching for answers. Recent research has indicated that psychodynamic psychotherapy can be as effective as CBT, if not more so, when it comes to providing long-term relief and recovery from OCD and other anxiety disorders.

* Humanistic/Existential Therapy — Humanistic/existential therapy describes a variety of treatment techniques that focus on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship that is created between a client and psychotherapist. Most therapists working from humanistic/existential perspectives have unique ways of working with clients’ strengths to help clients reduce and overcome obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors by create meaningful change in the way they view themselves and the world around them.

Again, these are just some of the more common approaches to OCD counseling and psychotherapy. And, although these therapy techniques may be implemented by themselves, these techniques are not mutually exclusive and are often used in conjunction with one another in order to produce the greatest benefit.

Lastly, it should be noted that there is no “quick fix” for people suffering from OCD.

Creating positive, lasting change is rarely easy, and overcoming OCD will require your time, energy, and commitment.

However, if you’re ready to invest the time and energy required you’ll likely be amazed at how anxiety counseling and psychotherapy can help you effectively overcome OCD and move forward in life with confidence and optimism!

Addictive romantic relationships involve one very independent and egotistical partner. This person thinks that he/she is able to do what they'd like to do at any time or place, and he/she would prefer to associate only with those that agree with them. Contrastingly, that person’s partner or spouse usually has low self-esteem and confidence, is dependent, and is willing to imitate what his/her partner likes. This is the way an addictive relationship works.

The following are signs of an addictive relationship:

Untruthfulness: Neither you nor your other half talk of what truly is troubling the two of you. The pair of you lie to one another regarding what you both need.

Unworkable expectations: Both of you think that the other will resolve your body image, self-worth and family issues.

On-the-spot satisfaction: An egotistical partner uses you so he/she feels great about themselves without connecting with you as his/her partner.

Obsessive control: A selfless partner has to act in a particular way; otherwise, his/her partner may make threats about leaving the relationship.

Distrust: The two of you lack trust in one another and often both of you believe that real liking or caring does not exist at all.

Social remoteness: You both prefer not to include your co-workers, mates or family in the relationship.

Series of pain: You and your partner are locked in a chain of disappointment, pleasure, blaming, pain and reconnection while together.

Romantic relationships similar to this could change, given that the two of you are prepared to do something for the better. A psychotherapist is able to help you and your companion with your relationship difficulties and help resolve conflict. A specialist can identify and help cure psychological problems, aid you in successfully coping with obstacles in life, help resolve your anxiety and emotional difficulties, and make your relationship stronger.

Bear in mind that psychotherapists don’t perform miracles, and the method is not instantly successful. Seeking the help of a psychotherapist means you're looking for practical resolutions to your problems with the help of an individual who is not related to you and can therefore be unprejudiced.

Do you feel that you don’t enjoy quality time together with your soul mate? Or perhaps you don’t talk to each other just like you once did? Friday evening was your time jointly; rather you’re spending it separately… Through the years of being a relationship counsellor at Marriage Therapy Toronto, sadly I recognize this takes place many times.

A specific significant warning call could well be, any time a person’s spouse is building factors why she/he doesn’t have time to commit to you or even desires to convince them. They’ll instead employ their time with a very good acquaintance, associate or with their selves. Your mate has stopped sharing their personal troubles, job or achievements with you? Are you presently hearing this particular information through a close friend or perhaps acquaintance? While you end up being the final person to be aware of significant news that involves your companion, there’s certainly some kind of disconnection in communication.

Early signs and symptoms are not at all times apparent. You possibly can undergo months, possibly a lengthy period before realizing that there might be caution flags. The first thing, we have to accept is that an issue exists. With no acknowledgement you won’t be capable to sort out your current issues. A lot of people don’t like to believe their own marriage could be threatened, and if never worked through, the specific situation might get more painful. Have you ever been or even your husband or wife instigating feuds amongst one another? Are you presently or even potentially your spouse going to bed earlier and would rather read some sort of book as an option to talking to you? Normally, this is the actual occasion when a person will probably seek the advice of a marriage counselling specialist.

In the event that the actual thought involving divorce occurs, you might endeavour to blame yourself. Your thoughts start to go places one example is, I could truthfully have done things differently or possibly If only I did the following in this manner! You shouldn’t fault all by yourself.

Let’s compare this to getting a sore throat. You really feel a cold is coming nevertheless you wait until you have all of the signs or symptoms and then you deal with it. In this particular sensation it usually is pretty just like our partnerships. The main difference is a cold will in most cases last approximately 3-5 days though a relationship, the longer you postpone the tougher it can be to set those components back together. It may take many weeks or might be many years. Stay away from the suffering and pain which comes along, particularly when there are children included. We also deal with the matter of separation and the particular influence which it has on kids within my practice at marriage counselling Toronto.

Communication is crucial inside a marriage and when it’s deficient, several components will also get impacted. I really like to think “communication” is definitely the root towards a healthful partnership. Without this, you might come to feel disconnection/cut off and you will not flourish as being a couple or perhaps as individuals. Just like a flower, if perhaps it’s pulled from beneath the dirt it does not sprout, in reality it’s going to die.

Your second half isn’t a mind reader; don’t toss your marriage aside, go through your current challenges. Start out with expressing your own thoughts/feelings. The trouble will not likely resolve by itself. Patiently waiting or hoping it goes away isn’t a feasible alternative which could yield any kind of positive results. Prior to the particular situation/problem gets a hold of you, get a hold of it.
